Somewhat back "on-topic", has anyone tried to use the Networker Linux client on FreeBSD using FreeBSD's Linux emulation mode? I've thought about trying it, but we're moving our few remaining FreeBSD

Hi, I 've been a (relatively) happy user of networker for 6 years. Recently I was tasked to evaluate the possibility of replacing our networker software with the Bacula distribution. The reasons whic

Bacula is heavily supported by Kern, the main author. I run it at home. You're in for some shocks though, because while is has most of the features of Networker in terms of spanning backups across m

Why not look at zmanada, which is the supported version of Amanda. Basically, if there is no client from zmanda, you can run an Amanda client (Although officially not supported) Siobhán Siobhán To si

Hi there, If you would like to know more about Amanda, its documentation is hosted at http://wiki.zmanda.com. I would be happy to answer any Amanda related questions that you may have. Regards -- Dmi

Hi Dmitri,Siobhan, I 'll be sure to check it out. I was under the impression that amanda does not span tapes, but maybe I misunderstood something. Thanks a lot for your replies, Athanasios To sign of

Hi John, many thanks for your reply, We generally don't use fancy features like staging, migrations etc. We basically save stuff to tapes. If I sqeeze my mind a little bit I can think of directed rec

Amanda never used to span tapes but does now, as at the last revsion, I found the the doco a little sparse but I use it and it works well. Hi Dmitri,Siobhan, I 'll be sure to check it out. I was unde

Staging isn't a fancy feature really, it's a nice way to let dumps trickle in and not shoe-shine the tape drive. I just turned this on at home and I can already hear the difference on my DLT7k drive

I haven't tried it, but check out examples/recover.pl in the Bacula distribution. It is supposed to emulate the interface of NetWorker's recover utility. --PLB Bacula let's you choose where to recove

I disagree. We're not so much Networker "drivers" as we are backups professionals, and it's a good idea to know what the other products are up to (example, what amanda can/cannot do wrt previous vers

I agree with Dave. While Networker is the primary focus of this list it isn't the right solution for all backup situations. I'm happy to get any information that may help me make the right decisions

For those of us who have been using networker for years and are evaluating other solutions (bacula in particular in my case as well), this is exactly the right place unless the list maintainer says o

Hi all, I agree and disagree, just to be a pest. I think it is interesting to many of us for information about other competing backup software to percolate into this group. Short term discussion of f
